Ran into this once and worked around it. Rebuilt my ship and forgot to put the work around in it, ran into it again.
What is it? Massive amounts of lost resources due to the ship's inability to use all of it's linked storage space correctly. I go out mining for a specific resource due to wanting to make a specific kind of hull, run across some pirates. I kill them, salvage their ships, keep on going. I find some asteroids of the wrong type, but eat them anyway, and keep on going. I find the kind of asteroids I want, spend a lot of time eating them, come back home to unload, and...
Not one piece of the ore I went out for. The first box linked filled up on pirates and rocks, and instead of just moving over to one of the other linked storage boxes, it just goes "Whoops, inventory is full, no space left", except that it doesn't bother to notify me that it thinks its full. So an hour's worth of mining and a dozen asteroids of what I wanted, all down the drain because the salvage computer apparently isn't smart enough to see more than one linked box.
Now I can get around it by linking all the boxes together and taking 20 minutes to set all the auto-pulls to move stuff out of the main inbox, but it would be really nice if we could treat all the boxes as being valid targets for the salvage computer, not just the first one.
Or at least give me the "Inventory is Full" notice when it happens. Pwetty pweese?
